Sebastian Hale, a ruthless thirty-year-old CEO, has everything money can buy except control over his own future. Desperate to escape an arranged marriage designed to secure a corporate merger, he hires Qinn Ashford, a struggling London makeup artist, to pose as his girlfriend and pretend she is carrying his child. Their agreement comes with one absolute rule: Clause Seven forbids falling in love. But Qinn has a secret of her own. Two years earlier, Sebastian was the mysterious stranger who offered her his umbrella on a rainy night, and she has never forgotten him. As their carefully staged romance turns into genuine desire, stolen kisses and dangerous secrets threaten to expose their deception. When the truth finally emerges, Sebastian must choose between protecting his family's empire and fighting for the woman who has captured his heart.
